A list of the books in William Congreve's library, from a list kept by William Congreve, published by the New York Public Library in 1955. William Congreve (1670-1729) was a leading Restoration playwright, and his library is an example of what a top-flight literary library of his time looked like. John C. Hodges has helpfully printed all volumes in full modern bibliographic format below the original. In the public domain by virtue of a missing copyright notice Topics: William Congreve, Congreve, Restoration era, bibliography, famous library, playwright
